EU officials have arrived in Budapest for high-stakes talks aimed at reshaping the bloc’s strained relationship with Hungary, weeks before the new government takes office, as the country’s departing prime minister, Viktor Orbán, admitted a “political era has ended” and suggested he would stay on as leader of his party in his first interview since the election.
Speaking to the pro-government outlet Patrióta, Orbán described Sunday’s election as an “emotional rollercoaster” after the opposition Tisza party won a landslide victory, bringing an end to his 16 years in power.
Péter Magyar’s party won a supermajority, giving it the power to amend the constitution and potentially roll back key pillars of Orbán’s foray into “illiberal democracy”.
The scope of the loss has prompted questions over what lies ahead for Orbán, whose decades-long political career has been marked by his efforts since 2010 to steadily whittle away at the checks and balances that constrained his government’s power: rewriting election laws to its own benefit, manoeuvring to put loyalists in control of an estimated 80% of Hungary’s media and retooling the country’s judiciary.
Speaking late on Thursday, Orbán said the results had laid bare that his rightwing populist Fidesz party was in need of a “complete renewal”. Asked who was responsible for the defeat, Orbán said he had no one to blame but himself. “Well, as I am the president of the party … I must take 100% of this responsibility upon myself,” he said.

EU: “Jump!”
Magyar: “How high?”
I think the EU will rule Hungary now. Hungary better figure out how to handle their quota of immigrants.
Magyar may think that he’ll get to run the government in Hungary. He’ll realize that’s not going to be the case.
Does Hungary have a domestic “lube” factory or will they have to import it? Either way, they should practice grabbing their ankles.
What are the odds of Orban eventually ending up in jail?
Magyar claims to be a Hungarian Patriot and conservative. He has a lot of public statements, but little real record. He rarely voted when he was member of parliament.
Is he for real, or his he an EU fake?
What are the odds of Orban eventually ending up in jail?
Or fleeing to Russia.
The fact that Magyar is extraditing the two Polish politicians , so that Tusk can get his revenge on them, says it all.
Magyar claims to be a Hungarian Patriot and conservative.
“Money changes everything.”
EU sure has a lot of meetings.
That didn’t take long. We had a few here who said we were crazy when we said Magyar was a EU/Soros chump. So here we go goodbye Hungary.
EU sure has a lot of meetings.

Ukie war. Now Hungary will remove their veto for more $$$ for their war against Russia.
For the record, I support Ukraine and I especially support Europe’s support of Ukraine.
